2009-12-16 rev. 234
Added support for MSV 2008 and very initial support for Symbian.
Few minor bugs fixed.

2009-04-23 rev. 229
Added new resources in resources/widgets/dials/dials.svg
Plans are to make those widgets alive and create bigger library of widgets based on
svg themes.

2008-11-26 rev. 224
Added make install for linux - any comments and/or bugfixes for other systems
warmly welcomed.
Added PotentioMeter with 4 predefined svg themes.
PotentioMeter is still expermimental so use it with caution.
Added alternative theme for Counter in test program.
More info about themes in potentiometer.h and counter.h

How do you compile the individual widgets into a module that can be loaded in PyQt?

I compiled the analog widgets plugin into a dll (Qt Creator) and instantiated a widget in a .ui file (PyQt Dessigner)... but in order to load thid .ui from a .py file, it looks for the widget's python module!

Hello! First, I would like to thank you very much for this library, I'm mainly in need of an analog gauge widget and surprisingly there is almost nothing for Qt.

Second, I have problems compiling your app (both Qt5.3+MSVC2013 and Qt 4.8.6+MinGW under QtCreator in Win7). Still, I added the relevant .h and .cpp files to a project and it worked (I'm new to Qt actually).

I wanted to know if there is a way, and how, to use your gauge svg resources for the widget. I actually need the widget to be good looking, and your resources are just beautiful. Could you please give me some clues?

Hi,
I'm enjoing using your library, I'd like to set some thresholds in ThermoMeter object; is there a function to set them? Can I set more than one alarm, to display more colors?
Thanks for your time :)

Hi
i downloaded the app and built and run using qt qreator 2.0.1 and qt4.6.3 under windows xp.
i got the error:
F:\87780-AnalogWidgets_234\AnalogWidgets-build-desktop\scripttool\scripttool.exe exited with code -1073741511

This is very laconic information. It should not take much time to debug the code.
However, please use QtQuick, and QDeclarativeView instead. ScriptWidget was attempt to do somehing that QtQuick does much better and in far wider context.

Well, there are personal reasons.It is much easier to control your own project that you can develop in any direction you like. It started as a research/(needed features) project and it is not as mature as QWT is. So I do not even try to compete with QWT or any other library or component you can find here. It is just yet another library that does some basic things.

MSVC 2005 is not supported at the moment, but with your help it could be :).
From your error report it seems that you have problem with compiling analogwidgets_plugin. It is that because there is no rule for MSVC2005 how to build plugin.

I guess you could modify wince* rule to make it work with MSVC 2005 in analogwidgets/plugins/plugins.pro.

Hi 3electrons,
I just want know one thing about your future widgets wich are describes on the last update.
Have you tried to test the graphicals performance? I.e the CPU load/usage when these widgets are in action. I ask that because these widgets are so beautiful, and I wonder if it will not penalize performance. thx in advance for the reply, and sorry if my english it isn't perfect :)

Yes I have tried it a little bit before with "oil widget" and few others. I have done it with ScriptWidget, which aim was to make widgets based on SVG and QtScript engines. Internal Java-Script API is very poor at the moment but performance is ok. However, making widget that is killing CPU is not a big problem. This is why I do consider to bring live to those "future" widgets by writing dedicated widgets in pure C++ where SVG themes could be exchanged, similar to potentiometer and counter widgets.
In my opinion it might be much simpler and more likely to make them alive, I am quite busy at my work at the moment.

Pure C++ widgets can be also better optimized by using cached and shared bitmaps, like it is done in WallClock, PotentioMeter and others. I still wonder if widgets with internal script engine is good idea. At least, how many people is going to use it that way?

I do believe I can achieve similar performance to PotentioMeter widget with C++ only approach.

On Mac OS X (version 10.4, QT version 4.4.3) the widget set compiles well but when typing 'make installs', the make command just goes into any subdirectory and says 'nothing to be done for...'

When I copy the designer plugin manually to the QT designer plugins folder, designing forms with the analog plugins works well. The uic generates a header file searching all the analog widgets in a project subdirectory.
